Thomas Richard
Westwood
Oct 17, 1957 — Dec 16, 2019
Thomas Richard "Tom" Westwood
, 62, died peacefully December 16
th
in Winter Garden, Florida. He left this earth surrounded in love by his family. Tom was born on October 17th, 1957 in Kenosha, Wisconsin to Marjorie (Hansen) and Frederick Westwood. As a boy, his family relocated to Adams – Friendship, Wisconsin where he began his lifelong love of the water, boating, fishing and skiing on Castle Rock Lake. He enlisted in the United States Navy in 1976 where he was stationed in San Diego, California and served honorably as a rescue diver aboard the USS Halsey (CG-23). After leaving the military he went to work as a warehouseman for Ace Relocation Systems in San Diego. He spent over 40 years at Ace until the time of his death, where he held various operations and business development roles including private van operator, general manager of Ace Orlando and most recently, director of development. Tom is best remembered as a servant leader, loving husband, proud father, grandfather, brother, uncle, mentor and friend. He was always in the service of others and a man of unshakable conviction, boundless energy, integrity and honor. When he was not working, Tom treasured being in and on the water, playing volleyball, watching his beloved Green Bay Packers and most of all spending time with his friends and family. Tom's absolute greatest joy was his beloved wife of 32 years, Amy, and his daughters, Savanna Jane Westwood, Madison Westwood Coston, son-in-law Isaac Coston and granddaughter Cora James Coston. He was preceded in death by his parents. The Memorial Service will be held at St. James Episcopal Church, 38 South Halifax Drive, in Ormond Beach, Florida, at 11:00 am on Saturday, December 28, 2019.
